IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE BBS HUMOR DIGEST:
A number of you have asked us how we we're going to handle an
upcoming problem with the Digest; namely what name we're we going to
use for the download file when we reached the October issue.
To explain this concern to those who don't understand, let me
step back a bit and explain how we came up with JOKE?-90.arc. When we
began back in April we wanted the Digest to be accessable to as many
computer users as possible, and to do this found ourselves constrained
within the following restrictions as brought to us by the IBM DOS:
The file name can be no longer than 12 character, including a 3
character suffix which must be precided by a period.
This left us with 8 characters with which to name the file. After a
few days of discussion we finalized upon the following:
JOKE(Number of the month)-(2 digit year).ARC
Well, it didn't dawn on us until a few months later that when we reached
the October issue we would have 9 characters as a prefix instead of the
allowable 8 characters.
So, to aleviate this problem we have decided to disregard the Decimal
system, and use the HEX sytem for the month, therefore the Download names
for the next three Digests will be as follows:
JOKEA-90.ARC ---> October 1990 Issue
JOKEB-90.ARC ---> November 1990 Issue
JOKEC-90.ARC ---> December 1990 Issue
We hope this doesn't cause any frustation on your part.
Thank you, Richard Whitten & Owen Morgan
O.J. John was driving to Las Vegas on a pleasure seeking trip, when he
stops at a small grocery store for a drink, John steps out of his car and is
immeadiately besiged by a man carrying a rather large suitcase.
"Sir, I can see you're a man with style," began the suitcase carrying
man, "and you would look great in this!" Upon which the man open his
suitcase and brings forth a large Bow Tie.
"Sorry," replies John as pushed past the man, "I'm not interested."
"To each his own..." Mubbled the man as John strode into the store.
About fifty miles up the the road John sees this sign: 'Brandies Bodacios
Babes Cat House, Next Right.' Being a single and adventurous sort, John
decided to check the place out, and takes the next right, and pulls into
the Cat House. After entering, John strode up the counter and asked for
service.
The madam of the house looked up from her work, eyed John from head
to foot, and then pointed to a fancy sign fixed on the wall above her head:
'No Shirt, No Shoes, No Bow Tie, No Service!'
